It’s difficult for a person like Abramovich to stay unnoticed wherever they go, and Barcelona isn’t an exception. Obviously, the Chelsea’s owner can have many reasons to visit a city like Barcelona, but is well known how eager Abramovich is to hire Rolandinho, so a visit like the one that he paid over the weekend inevitably started the rumor about the nature of the Russian’s visit.
What is known for sure is that Abramovich didn’t attend the game in Nou Camp, which would have turned on all the alerts in Camp Barsa, not just regarding Ronaldinho but also Frank Rikjaard, a manager that is much liked in Stamford Bridge.
